Are you an angry person?
The Bible warns that this emotion is the most destructive. It makes us lose control, sin and paves the path to hell. It must delight the devil when we are seething because we are his to direct into doing dreadful things. I think anger also leads to serious illness for you, even death if extreme enough.
I am guilty as anyone. In my life I have been very angry at times and regretted it . As I grow older I realise the dangers and lack of benefits of it. So I lay my anger at Christ's feet. That calms me.
So what do you do when enraged by someone - do you have a way of dealing with it without harming anyone?

Absolutely, things are made very easy indeed for the Devil. It is the wide easy road towards him.

What matters is not whether someone calls themselves a Christian and goes to church. Though that is a good start. It is one's personal relationship with Jesus Christ that is vital along with Bible study.
The Bible says the way to hell is wide, easy and many are on it. The narrow way is hard and few want to go that way. Because it means self - denial and serious thought about accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour.

As I've already documented, the most popular religion in all the world is Christianity. It therefore is unquestionably the wide path. Rastafarianism is perhaps the least popular religion and is most likely the narrow path. It probably leads to a good buzz.

To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I must assume that knowing is better than not knowing, venturing than not venturing; and that magic and illusion, however rich, however alluring, ultimately weaken the human spirit.

Post #16I understand perfectly. What evidence can you provide to support your claim that I don't.Rose2020 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 29, 2022 1:56 am [Replying to Tcg in post #14]
If you are determined not to understand, then you won't. I hope you will one day though. Jesus Christ transforms a man's whole life.
